Trying to see everything there is to see in this game? You'll need to pick up one of these.

Anyone who's played through Sega's Shenmue knows that seeing everything in the game is a difficult task, due to randomness and time-based events. Thankfully, Sega and Kodansha Publishing have a book in the works that will give us all a bit of help.

Set for release on February 10 for the super low price of 1,100 YEN is the Shenmue - Chapter 1: Yokosuka Complete Guide from Kodansha Game Books. This book will feature everything the discerning Shenmue fan could possibly want:

Complete details on all 200+ personalities in the game

Flow Charts covering all the events that you may have missed

Tips and Techniques for the Mini Games

Details on the items you can collect and how to use them

Details on the proper use of the Shenmue Passport disk.

Japanese book stores around America will hopefully carry the book, but failing that, you may be able to find it at cdjapan.co.jp (they occasionally carry stuff like this). You may also want to drop NCS and Tronix a line, expressing your interest.
